That's not Sprint PCS, that's an affiliate.

Re: Sprint bankrupsy story here
This whole Sprint affiliate battle is going to be interesting. It could
either make or break Sprint. If the courts rule in Sprints favor, they
could bail out their busted affiliates and end up owning more of their
own network at pennies on the dollar. However if courts rule against
Sprint, it could be the final straw in their already financially
troubled situation.
I'm just speculating here, but i'm thinking if things get bad for Sprint
that would make them ripe for an obvious takover. Not by Verizon, but
by the rich step-child hiding in the corner.
Nextel.....

Could take years to settle however, and by then economics may have
changed one way or the other.
Analgous case going on now with Marriott and some of their afilliates.

Not Nextel. Sprint PCS has already bailed them out with their paten
renewal last year (or the year ago?) and Nextel would have nothing to
gain.
Verizon would be the #1 suspect for a takeover, but I doubt the FCC
would allow it, it would make them too big and powerful.
I can see Sprint PCS merginv with some of the better off affiliates, I'm
pretty sure the FCC would allow that and would help out all parties
involved.

You are certainly right about that. A year ago this time i would have
bet good money we would have already seen a major merger by now, but as
of yet no merger and the rumors seem to have died down about impending
mergers.

bankrupcy.

Re: Sprint bankrupsy story here
Nextel's IDEN digital network is completely and technically
not compatible with Sprint's, nor anyone elses CDMA, GSM,
or TDMA network.
For them to acquire Sprint or anyone else, for that matter,
would entail billions of dollars for network conversions.
Nextel isn't THAT rich. ---John

But they have made some deals that might make this all a reality.
Remember the deal with Qualcomm that gave Nextel exclusive rights to
Qualcomm's CDMA Push-To-Talk technology? Mighty strange thing for a
company to do if they weren't thinking of a platform switch.

Very simple really. You just keep running Sprint as separate entity for
a couple of yeras, meanwhile get Motorola to make you a dual mode phone
- IDEN-CDMA; in the same way that AT&T is now deploying dual mode
TDMA-GSM phones.
Since no one else has a 1900MHz CDMA Network, any one that wants to buy
SprintPCS would have to use that sort of strategy.

Re: Sprint bankrupsy story here
Nextels going to have to switch their network no matter what they do.
They will either go the CDMA route or the GSM route. It's not a
question of "if" it's a question on "when".

Re: Sprint bankrupsy story here
I think you're on track Phil...But just to clarify, a couple of pretty
big chunks of Verizons network is 1900, and thats why they have gone to
the Tri-Mode handsets in the past few years.
